Hey y'all,

I'm very close to pulling the trigger on some RSE10s after finding a good deal. However, I'm very conflicted between the gunmetal and bronze for my deep black pearl. Which would look best? I'm very 50-50 on them.

Also, what tire size should I run with 18x8.5?

Thanks in advance!

What color is your Sport? Not knowing the color of the car I would go with the gunmetal. I am running the OEM size with 18 x 8,, ET45. Have you checked with Discount Tire Direct or Tire Rack to see what is recommended for the 8.5?

Sorry I only listed it in the title. It's deep black pearl

Tire Rack indicates that the 225/40-18 should be okay for rim widths from 7.5 - 9. You could go wider but it would affect the speedometer possible depending on the aspect ratio chosen

Sorry did not look close enough at your title, still would go with the gunmetal. Have a 17 Sport in reflex silver.

I love the look of black and bronze, so that would be my choice. But black and gunmetal looks great, too. Black on black is just too much for me - need a bit of contrast.

Bronze all day. C'mon live alittle. Gunmetal is too safe...

and the tire size for 18x8.5 should be 235/40.

The answer is always Hyper Black. It's such a universal color it looks good on anything.
